I was talking too a player at the site i play (PKR) He plays at PKR for fun/profit and get stakes at ladbrokes for $500 a day! He get 50% of the winnings he makes. He told me the name of the site were he got staked, so i gave it a look...
Here it is: 1. Create an account at www. xxxxxxxx.com and make a minimum deposit/transfer of $50. 2. Play a minimum of 6,000 hands or 100 STT's within a 28 day period. 3. Minimum cash table stake of $0.05/$0.10 and minimum STT buy-in of $5 (no maximum) to be played. 4. Come out break even or in profit to Get Sponsored on a loss limit of at least $100 a day (maximum starting loss limit of $500 will be offered at this level). 5. Register as a member of xxxxxx.
Cant put the link in here but its really true. This guy plays average stake littl bit higher as me and get staked $500 a day

Posted by umarplus: if you dont do it you can keep ALL of your winnings. its a good oppertunity in many cases, but nothing for a dude with a 10k bankroll in my oppinion
I see ur point, but maybe a good way to try higher stakes for me

I looked at this a while ago, was thinking of option 2 tho, but couldent quite work it all out, if rackback was involved id of been more intrested also i seen one that gives 85% of winnings. Dont forget its not as simple as 1,2,3,4,5 thats the start then you do trials, interviews, reviews etc. Can see + and - with it, might have anouther look in to it sometime.

I know this site and 2 who do personal staking of others on this site.Let me just say this to you, these 2 people where also involved in a site, that funny enough I use to mod 4, who ended up going "bankrupt", whilst using "players" money under the promise of sponsorship!! needless to say I will not say teh name of the "sponsorship" site.

Just so we are all on the same page, theres a little monkey in the corner? Thiink if you want a sponser its best yo go direct and ask, show stats etc and see how it goes, girls are more likely to be sponserd tho and the do like you to have a active roll in poker, not just playing.

practice practice practice, once you are good enough to move up the stakes ladder you dont need a sponsorship like that and as somebody else has said you get to keep 100% of your money that way

you (maybe) wanted to get staked to try out higher limits, right? and now they expect you to play higher limits to get staked? xD well...
if i were you doomdy i would just stay patient, move up limits slowly but steady and keep all my winnings for myself. i am sure you can beat the bigger games as well when you hang in there

Ty ty ty, yes i am convident i will reach $200 stakes some day, still my game is stuck at the moment, not making more profit as before, well its all on the long run, i have plenty off time

Posted by GeneYuss: They check your history before they stake you. And if you're a winning playing than just play with your own money and keep 100% profit.
If you're broke than I guess it's okay..
Doomdy, don't you have to play 100+ sngs at the limit before they stake you? So you're testing out the new stakes with your own money.
They checked my stats but they want average stake higher as $50.
If i deposit you need 100+ SNG at profit or break-even, with $5 limit, so yes littl bit strange
But i was only curious if they maybe will stake me with my current stats, but they dont, so ok no problem, i am not gonna deposit, i do it my way
